I am so very, very sad you are gone Mom. I was honored to have you in my home and hold your hand as you said your final farewell to this life and your journey onto the next. I hope I did everything okay. I know you were proud and aware of all of us pulling together to help make your last days the best they could be. I am going to miss you Mom so very much. I cry and wish I could have had you here for just a few more days. I look at my calendar and see that it will be Mother’s Day soon and I can hardly bare it. I will miss visiting you on holidays and watching you stand by the door to make sure you waved goodbye while we honked our horn. I look at the photo albums of when you were younger before I was born and see how beautiful you were. I look at the pictures of when we were children and realize what a good life we had. I look at the photos of when you were older and see how you enjoyed your grandchildren. Then I look at the photos of when you were even older and without Dad. I know you loved and missed him and wanted to be reunited with him in the worst way. I know your heart ached for Diane and Vince. I think you did not want to leave all of us because you loved each and every one of us very much, but you also wanted to go. So although I am sad, I am also glad you are with Dad, Diane and Vince in heaven with God. I love you Mom and I will dearly miss you. With love, your youngest baby Teresa
